Bluegreen's Bayside Resort And Spa

“Checked a ton of boxes for us!”

We booked at a killer rate, right before school started back.

We booked at a killer rate, right before school started back. We were impressed with the price and with the staff before we arrived, as we called several times with questions and they were very patient with us - and easy to reach upon direct dial to the actual front desk! You need to know the resort is unique in that it is in a gated residential community called Bay Point. You have to use a pass to enter and exit. It is very relaxing and quiet and secure. They do a good job of separating residents from tourists, likely for the residents' benefit. There's a gorgeous view of the bay, a beautiful golf course and a very relaxed vibe. Friendly to families though - no crotchety old retirees sneered at our kids playing, and families did a good job of respecting the child free folks trying to relax. Very good vibe. Room was as spacious and pretty and equipped as the photos show. Beds were comfy, along with the sofa beds - HOWEVER... the master King bed was mercilessly loud. This created some... issues. But it was very comfy. You should also know it's about 15-30 mins from various parts of Front Beach Rd. / PCB "proper". That worked perfectly fine for us but I could see it being a disappointment for someone not realizing the location. There's retail about 6-9 mins away. The Bay area is a whole area itself to discover- less commercial. None of these things were a big enough deal to cause us to drop from 5 stars, but in full disclosure because nowhere is perfect, Here's what we wish was different: -squeaky master -master temp was comfortable but always several degrees warmer than the rest of the unit. -no plastic plates for taking food outside, only ceramic -check-in was a little tedious as there was only 1 staff member checking in 3 of us who arrived at once around 7 pm and answering the phones. The guest in front of us was a real jerk about it. We were kind and patient about it but did share his frustration on the inside after a loooong drive to have to wait. -pool area tiles were a little loose in spots - they are closing the pool to renovated from Sept- Jan so this will be addressed. We were THRILLED with this place - cant wait to go back.

The only complaint I had was the pool was like bath water but that’s not the hotels fault, leave it to the Florida hot sun for that. My family will be back someday!!

We visited this vacation club for one night just to explore it for future vacation purposes for our family. We were aware that the entire pool complex was closed for renovation, but we wanted to see what the property offered as a resort destination. Unfortunately, we were assigned to a Room with no view at all, and with all of the splash pad equipment piled against the screens of the lanai during renovations. I think there is a nice view higher up, but I would not know based on my first floor room assignment. It is a small property with only two buildings and no food service of any kind. If you are on a high floor, I believe you would have a view of the water and sunset. Also, there was a very very annoying sound which sounded like a pump or the kind of sound that gives you a headache, which started at 6 AM. We were in the Azalea building on the first floor. I could not have tolerated that sound for a week … or even a day. I really wanted to like it because I am a Marriott vacation club owner in Hawaii and enjoy all of their other locations but this one just sort of escapes me. If you have a high room with a view and you don’t have whatever that horrible sound was and you don’t care if there’s no food service I guess you might like it.
